Whether you're dealing with acne, rough texture, post-acne marks, or early signs of aging, this serum offers a clinical yet gentle solution. It combines high-performance actives with barrier-supporting ingredients to improve skin clarity, smoothness, and strength—without triggering dryness or sensitivity.

At the heart of the formula is 1% encapsulated retinol, delivered through advanced Time Release Technology. This allows retinol to penetrate gradually, helping to increase cell turnover, unclog pores, and soften the appearance of fine lines—without overwhelming your skin. You get real results with zero downtime.

To balance the exfoliating effects of retinol, the formula includes 5% panthenol (vitamin B5) to soothe and hydrate, and 2% niacinamide to calm inflammation, minimize pores, and fade discoloration. Stabilized vitamin C and vitamin E offer added antioxidant protection while brightening skin and supporting collagen.

This serum is completely free from fragrance, essential oils, and harsh preservatives. Backed by a UK-certified cosmetic scientist, it's suitable for anyone looking for a smarter, more stable retinol serum—whether you're new to retinoids or want results without compromising your skin barrier.

Apply the serum at night on clean, dry skin as the first step after cleansing. If you’re new to retinol or have sensitive skin, it’s best to start slowly—use it just 2 to 3 times a week at first, and increase to nightly as your skin builds tolerance.
Always follow up with a simple moisturizer to lock in hydration and support your barrier. During the day, sunscreen is a must while using retinol to protect your skin and prevent sensitivity.
For extra comfort in the early weeks, try the “moisture sandwich” method: apply your moisturizer first, then the serum. This helps buffer the retinol and reduces any risk of dryness or irritation.

Encapsulated Retinol (1%)
Helps clear acne, smooth texture, fade fine lines, and reduce breakouts—all with less irritation, thanks to its slow-release technology. It also boosts cell turnover to refine pores and promote a visibly brighter, more even skin tone over time.

Niacinamide (2%)
Controls oil, fades dark spots, and reduces redness while strengthening the skin barrier—perfect for pairing with retinol. It also improves skin elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of large pores and uneven tone.

Panthenol (5%)
Hydrates deeply, calms irritation, and helps prevent dryness or peeling. It also enhances skin repair, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the barrier to protect against environmental stress.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Brightens dull skin, supports collagen, and helps fade pigmentation for a clearer, more radiant look. This stable form of vitamin C also protects against free radical damage and helps even out skin tone with consistent use.
